It's very sub-optimal running MS SQL Server and FileMaker Server together. FMS should have it's own "box" even if it's virtual.

Though I haven't had any direct experience with virtual server, a large client of mine has several virtual FM Servers (FMS 5 and FMS 8) set up, and it all just works. I'd suggest that FMS 9 would work at least as well as earlier versions, if not better.

So we need to search high and low, of no avail? Where is the exact difference, number of psu's ...there is not much art in having several raids each handling it's own purposes??

There are several fears, the NRA'ish kind, the one elderly women sometimes exhibit after watching the news. Which one is this?

"The one who dies with most toys - wins"

Realize that dissuations, better not be based on hearsays, they might create circular kind of conclusions. Say like the ones spindoctors are hired to make, even if the goal is questionable.

I heard at Devcon some years ago, that FMI's engineers prefered windows servers over a pile of mac lunchboxes, this was never really questioned by the audience nor me in public at least. But the problem here is that it's creed!

"The social conception of discourse" - This means that both you and Wim supports each others point of views, not quite knowing who said it first and by it perhaps elevates it into pseudo knowlege or at least a common sense, not making it quite the same thing as a mathematical proof, since whats seems to be goin on is cross-referencing to others in the same "discourse"
